Original handbills like this one from the early days of the Avalon Ballroom are increasingly harder to uncover in good condition. The Woman with The Green Hair is one of the seminal images of the era and receives well-deserved discussion of its desirability and appeal by Eric King in his standard Collector's Guide. This is the OHB-A version of the handbill.

 

Condition: Minor handling, nick top edge.
